DirectX - An Overview - Part 2

In my first article, you got a good feel for what DirectX 7 is and what it is not. As a fan of out of the frying pan and into the fire, we are going to jump right in. This article, like subsequent articles, is focused on one aspect of DirectX - Namely DirectDraw. As time progresses, Jack Hoxley and I will be bringing you articles on each of the DirectX components.In this article we are going to fly through the initial setup of your project then get down to cases.
